I have to say that I learned LOADS from this books, about the physics greats and the history, even some of their convictions about science and their own beliefs. I learned some things about the physical laws, too, but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
This was a fun way to explore science history, reviewing certain facts and learning new ones. My favorite figure was...Tycho Brahe, I think, while I found Hubbel to be infinitely fascinating and enigmatic.
I hate to say that I began to get bored, and since the due date was upon me, and I had renewed the book so many times, I didn't finish reading it. But I would like to. I postponed writing anything about it for that reason.
All in all, it was a GREAT book, and I don't think it will be hard for me to finish it. I think I just needed a little break from the pressure of reading it. Why did I feel pressured? I have no idea.

PS. I began this entry before I returned, back in November. I have not finished the last chapter, though I was fairly close.
